Was just saying that I loved working on the book, have read it three or four times already and thoroughly enjoyed it, that it was fantastically well put-together, that you should make many many more such books that defy convention and sense and all that's unduly rational, and that I'm still kicking myself silly for not being able to make it to Chennai for the launch. There was also something in my masticated comment about comparing the Tenth Rasa with sitting in a washing machine, but I'm a bit hazy on the details now in my throes of anger towards comment-stealing Google...

Thanks, Eyefry. I appreciate your words that, like curds, gird me absurdly.I shall keep up the good (read "nonsensical") fight against the Man (read "sense"). Would like to hear more about the washing machine... Does that have something to do with "The Bathing Hymn"??

Like the bathing hymn only in terms of the general sudsybubblycleanlyness. Twas more, I think, to do with the whirling twirling tumbling spinning strange spyrogyroweirdness that makes you woozy but you can't help but enjoy. More people should sit in washing machines, I say!
